I've had several problems with building on OS X in the past, and was just notified that a bug I opened about it has closed. Eric Firing suggested that I re-open the bug if it is still a problem. It is still a problem, but I can't seem to figure out how to re-open my bug report, so I'll report it again here with an update on the procedures I followed.
First, I downloaded a fresh copy of matplotlib source: svn co https://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib matplotlib Then, following the instructions I found in README.osx: PREFIX=/Users/mhearne/build make -f make.osx fetch deps mpl_install I then moved my current matplotlib (one from Enthought) aside: cd /Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/Current/lib/python2.6/site-packages sudo mv matplotlib matplotlib.old I then used setup.py to install matplotlib: sudo /Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python setup.py install Then I tried to import ft2font from the ipython command line: from matplotlib import ft2font and got the following error: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ImportError Traceback (most recent call last) /Users/mhearne/build/matplotlib/<ipython console> in <module>() ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/6.0.0/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so, 2): Symbol not found: _FT_Attach_File Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/6.0.0/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so Expected in: flat namespace in /Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/6.0.0/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
